Theodore stood there unmoving, staring blankly at Rosalie. He almost forgot to breathe. The seconds felt like centuries to him.

His trembling lips moved slightly as he took a step toward her.

Seeing this, Sebastian moved to intervene and stop Theodore from getting closer to Rosalie. However, Yuvan forcefully stopped him and didn’t allow him to approach.

Sebastian clenched his fists; he was about to grab Yuvan’s collar and fling the latter aside, when Rosalie suddenly spoke up.

“None of you come any closer!”

Theodore stopped in his tracks abruptly, like a soldier instinctively obeying orders.

Rosalie slowly stood up from the ground. She felt dizzy but tried hard to suppress it, not showing any

discomfort.

She raised her head to speak to Sebastian. “Seb, I’m sorry, but I think I need to go back and rest,”

“I’ll send you home.” Sebastian took a step forward, but Yuvan blocked him again.

“Get out of my way!” Sebastian balled up his fist to punch him.

Although Yuvan felt a bit uneasy after seeing the look in Sebastian’s eyes, he had no choice but to follow! his boss’s orders.

Rosalie was afraid he would start a fight, so she said, “Seb, it’s okay. You don’t need to send me home. I’lly drive back by myself. I just want to be alone. And please take good care of Miss Yancey.”

“But…” Sebastian was really worried about her. “I…”

“Enough, Seb. I’ve made up my mind. Don’t make it hard for me.”

She knew Sebastian was a reasonable person, so she could talk it out with him.

Sebastian truly was reasonable, especially when it came to Rosalie; he always listened to her unconditionally.

“Okay. Remember to call me when you get home. I want to hear your voice and make sure you’re safe.” Rosalie nodded. She hadn’t brought anything with her when she came but her phone, which was in her pocket, so there was no need to go back to the private room now.

As she passed by Theodore, he wanted to reach out and stop her, but suddenly felt he had no right to do

1. SD.

“Rose,” he called out to her.

“Mr. Spencer, Rosalie said coldly. “Since you said you and your assistant came here to eat, then take your time dining. Unless you’re lying and stalking me, just as Sebastian said.”

Theodore appearing here was too much of a coincidence. Moreover, he showed no surprise when he saw her, as if he had already known in advance. He definitely did not bump into her.

She hated Theodore for it. They were already divorced, but he was still investigating her and making her feel like she was being monitored.

She was a free person now. Even if she loved him, he couldn’t investigate her behind her back. Moreover, she didn’t intend to continue loving him.

Theodore felt a bit flustered. Originally, he didn’t care about these things. He indeed followed her, and he didn’t mind admitting it.

But now, seeing Rosalie’s lonely eyes, he suddenly didn’t dare to admit it. He was afraid if he admitted that he came for her and followed her, she would be angry with him.

Ironically, she had always been angry with him.

Theodore didn’t want to add fuel to the fire anymore.

“You still haven’t told me what you’re hiding from me. Rose, while I don’t know what exactly it is, I definitely have the right to know. You can’t keep it from me.”

He vaguely sensed something, but he didn’t dare to confirm it. There seemed to be a thin film between them, fragile and uncertain. One stab could break it, but after it was broken, he didn’t know if what lay beyond was heaven or hell.

Chapter 372

“It’s this,” Rosalie began softly. “That day, I cried and begged you not to go see Cynthia, but you insisted because she was sick. I followed you in my car and saw you making promises to her. When I went back, it was raining heavily, and I fainted at the hospital entrance. I never told you about it until now, and I didn’t see the point in doing so. If it weren’t for Sebastian mentioning it, I would never have said anything, because I felt it was meaningless.”

Theodore stared at Rosalie in a daze, with mixed feelings. He opened his mouth, wanting to say. something, but hesitated.

Was it really about that? But why didn’t he believe it?

He felt that there were other, more important matters that she wasn’t telling him. This was just one of

them.

Sebastian sighed inwardly. In the end, Rosalie still didn’t tell Theodore.

But that was for the best. Sebastian could tell that Theodore came here today on purpose. He and Rosalie were divorced, but he was still clinging to Rosalie like this.

Sebastian was worried that Theodore still cared about her…

It was hard to say. Men were greedy and always didn’t cherish what they had until they lost it.

Theodore might have realized how good Rosalie was only after their divorce, and wanted to reconcile with her.

So, it was better that Theodore didn’t know about Rosalie’s pregnancy. Otherwise, he might use it as an excuse to try to reconcile with her. If Rosalie gave in and reconciled with him because he was the father of the child, what would happen then?

After Rosalie finished speaking, she walked toward the door.

Theodore couldn’t help but follow her.

Sensing the man behind her, Rosalie turned around and snapped coldly, “Nobody should follow me, or we’ll end our friendship.”

Rosalie clenched her fists tightly. After saying this, she quickly left.

Theodore watched her until she disappeared from view.

“Yuvan,” he called.

“Mr. Spencer.” Yuvan turned around. “What are your orders?”

“Have the bodyguards secretly follow her and escort her home without being noticed.”

“Yes.” Yuvan took out his phone to give out the instructions.

“Theodore.” Sebastian furrowed his brows. “If Rosalie doesn’t want you to follow her, why do you insist on disgusting her?”

“I’m disgusting her?” Theodore gritted his teeth, anger surging in his chest. “What’s wrong with me getting the bodyguards to protect her? She’s not in a good mood and is driving home alone. What if something happens on the way and there’s no one to help her? Will you take responsibility?”

Sebastian was silent. He was infuriated by Theodore’s words, but reluctantly had to admit that Theodore had a point.

He was also worried about Rosalie driving home alone–but if she didn’t want anyone to accompany her, what could they do?

Theodore strode up to Sebastian. “What else is Rosalie hiding from me?”

He felt that Sebastian knew more than he did, which was ridiculous.

Rosalie was his ex–wife. Even though they were divorced now, he was like an idiot who knew nothing.

Yuvan stood aside, wiping the sweat off his forehead, He was caught between a rock and a hard place when the two big shots argued.

Sebastian raised his head slightly, smiling at him mockingly. “If you want to know, go ask her yourself. Aren’t you family?”

“Carter, stop being sarcastic.” Theodore’s voice turned cold. “I think you’re the one who’s influenced Rose negatively. You’ve been sowing discord between us, which is why she doesn’t want to tell me anything and is treating someone like you as a friend.”

“A person like me?” Sebastian snorted. “I wonder what kind of person Mr. Spencer thinks I am, and why Rose is willing to be friends with someone like me.”

“It’s simple. You’re not a good person.” Theodore spat out each word through gritted teeth, eyes blazing with fury.

The two men stood very close to each other.

Both of them were tall, towering figures, exuding a fierce aura. When their eyes met, it seemed there was a raging fire between them.

Onlookers couldn’t help but feel intimidated. Afraid of being caught in their crossfire, they subconsciously moved–further away.

Yuvan took a few steps back. Those who knew these two men were aware that they were not to be trifled with.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes, his eyes glinting dangerously.

“What about you? Do you think you’re a good person?” He leaned in closer, mocking, “You can’t even be a good husband, so how can you be a good person? Isn’t that right?”

Theodore actually had the nerve to mock him for not being a good person. It was ridiculous!

Sebastian might not be a good person, but that wasn’t up to Theodore to say.

The anger between the two men was escalating, and a fight was about to break out at any moment.

Yuvan had been working for Theodore for a long time, even though he had a strong mentality, he didn’t know what to do now. After all, these two men seemed to have lost their minds and couldn’t be reasoned with.

Regardless of one’s identity, when one lost their rationality, one would use fists to resolve problems.

Wars born out of rage often started like this.

“Heh.” Theodore suddenly chuckled, his eyes filled with disdain. “At least I was her husband. She gave me everything. You probably don’t know that I was the most responsible husband at night. Don’t believe me? You can ask her.”

“Theodore!” Sebastian lost control of his emotions and rushed forward, grabbing Theodore’s collar,” You’re shameless! Have you ever thought about how your words can affect Rose’s reputation?”

“Let go of Mr. Spencer!” Yuvan stepped forward to stop him, but Theodore remained calm.

“You step back.”

“But…” Yuvan wanted to say something, but he received a cold look from Theodore, so he could only take a few steps back and watch helplessly.

Theodore chuckled, meeting Sebastian’s gaze directly. “Angry? It seems Mr. Carter isn’t as polite as he seems on the surface. If you want to fight, I’ll oblige.”

Seeing Theodore’s indifferent logk, Sebastian was furious and let go of Theodore fiercely. “Hitting you would dirty my hands.”

More importantly, if he did hit him, Rosalie would definitely find out. He didn’t want to bother her. Even more so, he didn’t want to give her any chance to care about Theodore.

Theodore casually brushed off the dust on his suit. It was a casual gesture, yet exuded a disdain of a king. He put his hands into his pockets, and glanced indifferently at the furious Sebastian.

“I don’t know what Rose is hiding from me, but even if you don’t tell me, I’ll have many reasons to ask her

about it.”

Sebastian clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. “You don’t care about Rose at all. If you cared even al little bit, you wouldn’t say such things, let alone disturb her life.”

Theodore retorted, “I’ve known her for ten years! You don’t have the right to judge whether I care about

her or not!”

“So what if it’s been ten years? Rose wouldn’t even tell you when she fainted!

“After I took her away from the hospital, she had a fever at night and kept crying. Where were you then? You were either busy accompanying Cynthia, or suddenly having a bipolar episode and going to find Rose in the middle of the night like a madman.

“You bang on her door and threaten her, completely disregarding whether she wants to go back with you or not. You had no idea what happened! All you know to do is blame her!” Sebastian shot back.

“You’re just a self–righteous bastard. It was a curse for her to marry you, but now, it’s finally over. You two are finally divorced. If you have even a shred of conscience left, don’t go and disturb her anymore. She doesn’t need you!”

Each of Sebastian’s words was like a sword that pierced Theodore’s heart.

Those words seemed to float right before his eyes, each line vividly clear, and each word transforming into Rosalie’s weary and pale face.

Drenched in rain, collapsing, feverish, crying…

He never knew such things happened to Rosalle.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have rushed there angrily to take her away that night.

He wouldn’t have been so harsh, and he certainly wouldn’t have threatened her with divorce to force her to come back with him.

He clearly saw her in tears, yet he completely disregarded it and forced her anyway.

Just because he was blinded by jealousy and let his pride get the better of him…

Although Theodore was unwilling to admit that what Sebastian said was right, deep down, he knew he was a right bastard.

What had this marriage brought to Rosalie? He didn’t even dare to think too deeply about it.

The deeper he delved, the deeper the pain.

Yuvan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead again. Hearing Sebastian, he thought Theodore was indeed a scumbag and deserving of a telling of.

Theodore’s heart kept throbbing in pain, with no signs of stopping. His gaze was incredibly dark.

He turned around silently and walked toward the door. After taking just a few steps, he stopped, turned back around, and said, “Sebastian, I’m a scumbag, but you’re pitiful. Heh.”

Theodore seemed to have cracked a joke, even amusing himself, but his smile was filled with sadness. As a man himself, Theodore could naturally see Sebastian’s feelings for Rosalie. Even then, while he would always be a scumbag, Sebastian might not stay pitiful.

After Theodore left, Sebastian took a deep breath and composed himself. He turned around, and went back to the private room.

Pushing the door open, he saw Yvonne talking to Lily.

“You’re back, Seb.” Yvonne glanced behind him, and when she saw no one, she asked, “Where’s Rose?” Since there was an outsider, Sebastian didn’t show any emotion. “She had something to attend to and left.

“What? She left? What should we do now?”

Rosalie’s departure was too sudden.

Sebastian didn’t answer, but went to Lily’s side.

Lily quickly stood up. She didn’t know what was going on, but she felt a little scared of Sebastian. Such a

man made her feel a sense of fear.

“Sorry to trouble you to come here for nothing. Yvonne will send you back, and we’ll just forget about today’s events,” he told her.

Lily nodded. “Okay,”

She was still confused up to now. Even if something happened, she didn’t understand.

“Seb, what happened?” Yvonne saw that her brother didn’t seem to be in a good mood. “What did you say to Rose? Why did she suddenly leave?“.

“It’s none of your business,” Sebastian said. “You take Miss Yancey back. I’m leaving first.”

“But Seb, aren’t you going to eat something before you leave? I haven’t eaten yet, and the dishes are already on the table!” Yvonne had slept all day, and was starving.

Sebastian had no mood nor appetite, so he said coldly. You guys eat. I’m leaving.”

Seeing how forlorn Sebastian looked, Yvonne scratched her head in confusion.

It was strange. Did he and Rosalie have a fight?

Lily said weakly, “Miss Carter, does your brother like Miss Young?”

“Oh, you noticed?” Yvonne’s eyes widened.

Lily smiled. “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Yeah, it is,” Yvonne said. “Back then, I could tell at a glance.”

“But Miss Young seems to…”

“What about her?” Yvonne asked. “Did you notice something?”

Lily smiled awkwardly. “I was just talking nonsense. It’s my first time meeting her, so I have no right to say anything.”

Yvonne sighed. “It’s really complicated.”

“But your brother is really handsome.”

Lily touched her blushing cheeks with the back of her hand. Whenever she saw a handsome guy, her heart would race. There was nothing she could do; she was naturally attracted to good–looking guys.

“Tsk, tsk! You like my brother.” Yvonne teased, putting an arm around her shoulder.

“No, no, I just think he’s very handsome. It’s normal for girls to like handsome guys,” Lily said truthfully. “Yeah, my brother really is handsome. He’s not just handsome, but also lovesick. I don’t think you stand a chance.” Yvonne felt that her brother was head over heels for Rosalie.

Lily’s heart seemed to be pricked by something. It was commonly known as heartache.

Chapter 375

Theodore stood outside Rosalie’s building.

Earlier, his bodyguard informed him that she had safely arrived home. He got the address, and came here alone.

So this was Rosalie’s new residence. It was a very ordinary neighborhood.

She preferred to move here rather than back to her own home. She didn’t want the house that used to belong to both of them anymore.

He guessed that she wouldn’t want anything related to him.

‘Rose, do you hate our marriage, or do you hate me as a person?’ he wondered.

If she only hated the marriage, why was she still so unhappy now that they were divorced? Or was it that she hated him as a person?

Was that why she blocked him? Because she wanted him out of her world?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

So, she hated him as a person!

Theodore took out his phone from his pocket. He found Rosalie’s number, and typed a message to her.

He spent a long time to type this message, about ten minutes. He deleted and revised it repeatedly. In the end, he had sent only a few words.

He knew Rosalie had blocked him, so she wouldn’t receive this message. It was precisely because of this that he dared to send it. It was a message she was destined not to see.

After sending the message, he looked up at the high-rise building in front of him. One of the rooms was lit.

‘Rose… Since you hate me so much, I won’t disturb you anymore,’ he thought.

Rosalie was kneeling in front of the toilet, vomiting.

Normally, her morning sickness wasn’t severe, but every time she faced stress or thought of Theodore, a surge of resentment would flood her heart. This emotion was so intense that her body reacted along with it.

She hadn’t had dinner yet, and today’s breakfast and lunch had all been vomited out. She vomited until she was dry heaving, as if she was spitting out bile.

Rosalie was completely drained. She flushed the toilet, rinsed her mouth, and washed her face.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she saw a terrifyingly pale face.

Water droplets trickled down her hair, along with the tears falling

Rosalie collapsed weakly to the ground.

“Theo, I hate you! Who gave you the right to make me so sad and miserable? I really…hate you!

“If you don’t love me, it’s okay. We’re just not fated.

“But since you don’t love me, stay far away from me, okay? I beg you… Don’t disturb me anymore. Let’s never see each other again!

“I’m really scared. My heart hurts so much!”

Rosalie sat on the ground for two minutes, and suddenly remembered that she had a baby now.

She had to take care of the baby.

She struggled to get up from the ground, and washed her face with hot water again.

“Sweetie, mommy won’t cry anymore. I’m sorry. Mommy has a fragile heart. I promise I’ll stop being so fragile.”

At this moment, her phone rang.

Chapter 376

Rosalie pulled her phone out of her pocket, and saw that it was Sebastian calling.

She had completely forgotten about promising him that she would call him to tell him she had arrived safely back home.

Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and answered the call.

“Hello.”

“Rose, are you home? You didn’t call me, and I got a little worried.”

Rosalie chuckled. “Thanks for your concern. I’m home. Sorry I forgot to call you.”

“It’s fine, as long as you’re home. You haven’t had dinner yet. I’ll send dinner over to you.”

“No need, I can prepare dinner myself. There’s lots of food in the fridge.”

“Okay, then do it soon. Remember to have dinner. Don’t forget that you need to take care of your baby. Your baby will get hungry, too. You two aren’t alone, I’m around,” Sebastian said, in a voice filled with concern and tenderness.

Rose covered her mouth, trying hard to muffle her sobs.

Why did Sebastian show so much concern for her, care so deeply about her feelings and know her so well, when they had just known each other for a short time?

Theodore, on the other hand, treated her so cruelly despite knowing her for close to a decade. He was a fool, unaware of everything, including her heart and her love. He had given his all to Cynthia, leaving no room in his heart for another woman.ConTEent belongs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Rosalie was trying her best to control her sobs, but she couldn’t hold back her whimpers.

Sebastian could hear her crying through the phone, and started to panic.

“Rose, no matter what happens, you’ll never be alone,” he assured.

Rosalie shut her eyes tight, refusing to let the tears fall and trying her best to suppress the sorrow in her heart.

She knew she couldn’t let herself

wallow in self-pity and misery, and that she should walk out of it. She should be focusing on happy and positive feelings that were better for her

Alas, people were all like this; forgetting about the good things, and choosing to dwell in painful emotions and not let go of them.

“Thanks, Seb. I want some time alone for now. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I just need to calm down and compose myself. I’ll contact you once I’m ready.”

“Okay, sure,” Sebastian said. “I won’t bother you anymore. Call me if you need anything. I’ll be ready round the clock.”

Rosalie’s throat hurt. She could only manage a weak “Okay,” before hanging up.

She headed straight to her bedroom, collapsed on the bed, and cried her heart out. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears. “Sweetie, I’ll cook something for you to eat. I’ll stay strong. See, there are many people who still care about us.”

With that, Rosalie walked to the window. She pulled the curtains open with a whoosh, seeking some fresh air.

That was when she realized there was someone downstairs. Although he stood a distance away, she could make out who he was.

The man who was etched in her heart over the past decade, one she could recognize even if he were reduced to ashes. This distance was nothing to

her.

Theodore was leaning against his

car downstairs. He was spacing out, staring straight ahead at something, his arms crossed in front of his chest. He just needed to lookup to see Rosalie looking at her.

Rosalie rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Why was Theodore here? Did he follow her here?

Suddenly, Theodore looked up in her direction.

Rosalie jumped up in fright, and hurriedly shut the curtain

Chapter 377

Rosalie was panicking, and she needed a few minutes to compose herself before carefully peeking through the curtains again and looking downstairs. She saw Theodore still standing in the same spot downstairs, looking up as if he’d seen her.

Rosalie was like a deer in the headlights as she closed the curtains once more.

Will he come upstairs?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

After pondering for a moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

She had blocked Theodore, and while Theodore couldn’t reach her, she could reach him if he didn’t block her.

The call went through, a sign that Theodore didn’t do so.

A few seconds later, his deep voice sounded through the phone. “Hey.”

“Theodore Spencer, you’re a stalker! How dare you follow me home!”

“Are you sure this is your home?” Theodore asked casually.

“My home is wherever I’m staying at. I decide where my home is! Why did you stalk me?”

“For no particular reason. I just somehow tagged along,” Theodore said leisurely. There was no panic in his voice as he went on calmly, “If you don’t like it, I’ll leave.”

“Leave! Hurry up and leave, and don’t ever come again. I don’t want to see you at all!”

“Is this why you blocked me?” Theodore said hoarsely. “You don’t ever want to see me again? Even the divorce wasn’t enough to relieve you of your suffering. You’ll only be happy if I vanish from your world, is that it?”

Deep sorrow coursed through Rosalie’s veins, from her heart to her head. Her vision became blurry, and even the lights in her room looked hazy. “Theodore Spencer,” Rosalie squeezed out from her throat. “The moment you asked for a divorce for Cynthia’s sake, we should have vanished from each other’s lives. We should be living our separate lives.”

“Be like strangers with nothing to do with each other?” Theodore asked, as if she was asking the impossible of him.

This was in fact something that Rosalie had said many times before.

Rosalie shut her eyes, and said bitterly, “Yes.”

“Hah,” Theodore chuckled bitterly. “We’ve known each other for a decade, and now, have to be strangers and erase away all our memories just because of a failed marriage between us. Rosalie Young, how could you bear to say something like this?!”

зло

et

Rosalie’s heart ached, but she felt numb at the same time when she heard Theodore’s words. It sounded like it was her fault once again, and that she was being too heartless.

“That’s exactly what I said. I’ve learned too much from this failed marriage. It made me understand that a decade means nothing. With no love, even a hundred years mean nothing-not to mention ten!”

She couldn’t change his heart and make him love her over ten years. What else could she have done? Should she have stayed by his side as his sister after their divorce?

She didn’t want that!

She would rather leave him than to compromise to the point of humbling herself like this.

Since she couldn’t have him, she didn’t want him any longer! She didn’t want to hanker after something that didn’t belong to her!

How many things could one really own in this lifetime?

Too few, truly.

Some people struggle their entire lives, and end up with nothing to their names. Others, on the other hand, are born lucky and always manage to get what they want.

Theodore remained silent for so long, time seemed to stand still.

Yet, neither hung up. They could hear each other’s breathing through the phone clearly.

Chapter 378

Theodore finally said, “Yes, you’re right. There’s simply no love, and if it remains so for a decade, then the only conclusion is to let go of things!” His words pierced through Rosalie’s heart like a dagger. The resulting wound in her heart hurt so bad, she felt suffocated.

She suddenly lost control of her emotions, and yelled into the phone, “I’ve already given you and Cynthia what you both want! Hurry up and marry her! Don’t come harassing me again! I hate you, and I don’t ever want to see you!”

With that, she hung up and crumpled on the carpet, sobbing loudly.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Theodore Spencer, you bastard! I know you don’t love me. Haven’t I already let you go? Why did you have to speak so cruelly and twist the knife that was already in my heart?’

*

Theodore’s arms slumped to his sides as he leaned weakly against the car window and stared at Rosalie’s window in a daze.

Since she didn’t fall in love with him even after ten years, what else could he do?

‘Rose,’ he thought, ‘aren’t I letting go of you now? But why will you only be happy if I vanished from your world? Turns out that all my concern and desire to get closer to you were all just harassment to you!

‘Do you find me that detestable? Why?’

Theodore’s eyes turned red as sorrow billowed in the depths of his eyes. His chest rose heavily as he panted hard in the night.

Night had fallen, and the streetlights flickered in the dark. Their dim light fell on his handsome side profile, casting a lonesome shadow on the street. Theodore stared at the window for over ten minutes, before finally looking down helplessly and going back into his car.

After around five to six minutes later, the door downstairs opened. Rosalie rushed out.

“Theo, Theo!”

She ran to the spot where Theodore had been standing at previously, but he was nowhere to be found.

He had left without a trace.

“Theodore Spencer!”

Rosalie yelled his name and the top of her lungs as she plopped down on the grass like a madwoman. “Theo!”

She didn’t know what was with herself, but she just couldn’t control her own legs. She felt immensely guilty after saying something so cruel, and ran out in hopes of explaining things to him. Content

“Theodore Spencer, I love you! I love you, you fool! You utter fool! It’s been ten years, so why don’t you love me back? Why?!”

She really wanted to know why.

She used to consider humbling herself to become the woman of his dreams. She would change herself in order to become the kind of woman he loved.

Yet, she eventually realized how laughable she was.

He didn’t love her, it was as simple as that.

It was over… It was all over.

“Miss, are you alright?”

Rosalie heard a young man call out to her. His voice sounded very soft and sweet, like a little puppy.

She turned around and saw a young

man who looked to be about 18 to 19 years old, squatting on the ground next to her. He was wearing a hoodie with jeans, with a bag slung over his shoulder. There was a youthful and lively vibe to him.

Despite his squatting stance, Rosalie sensed that he was at least 5 feet 9 tall.

If he hadn’t called her in such a youthful and sweet voice, she would have thought he was at least 20 years old.

Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, and smiled gently at him. “I’m fine. I just accidentally tripped and fell.”

“I’ll help you up.”

He stretched out a hand, reaching out to her. His palm was huge, and he exuded a bright and easy aura that made one trust him easily.

Chapter 379

Rosalie felt a little woozy, and did need the support. She flashed him a grateful smile and stretched her hand out to him.

The young man helped her up from the ground, carefully and very politely.

When Rosalie got to her feet, she felt very dizzy and almost lost her balance. The young man grabbed her arm and held her steady.

“Miss, I’ll help you over that bench. You can sit there.”Content © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

There was a bench nearby, where people could sit and take a rest.

Rosalie knew she wasn’t able to walk, and nodded in agreement. The two of them sat on the bench, and the young man handed her a bottle of water.

“Have some water,” he offered.

“No need, thank you.”

She instinctively rejected water offered by a stranger, even though she did feel thirsty.

“Don’t be scared. I’m not a bad guy. I live here too. I bought this bottle from the convenience store just now, and it’s still sealed. Go ahead and have a drink. Your lips are so dry and chapped.”

The young man looked innocently at Rosalie, his eyes glistening with sincerity. It was hard to see him as a criminal.

Good-looking people always had the advantage of leaving a good impression on others.

This young man was incredibly good-looking; his skin clean and smooth, his eyes crystal clear and beautiful. He was tall and lanky, with a lean figure, exuding the warm aura of sunshine and an energy filled with vigor.

His soft and sweet voice when he called her made her skin tingle.

If he were to ask someone for money, the other party might just give it without hesitation.

Rosalie suddenly felt as though she couldn’t say no to him. He would probably cry in indignation if she rejected him.

She nodded, and was about to take the bottle from him when he suddenly pulled his hand back.

Rosalie thought something was

et

wrong, but he went on to twist the bottle ecap open and hand the bottle back to her. “The cap is shut rather tight. I helped you twist it open.”

It was so thoughtful and sweet of him.

Rosalie had no idea where he came from.

She thanked him, and sipped on the water. Her lips turned red upon contact with the water, and her dry throat instantly felt better.

She twisted the bottle cap shut, and asked, “How much does this cost? I’ll pay you back.”

“No need for that, it’s for you. It’s not much, anyway.”

“No way. I’d better pay you back.”

She stuck her hand into her pocket, but realized that she didn’t bring her phone or cash with her.

The young man took out a pen and a piece of paper from his bag, and wrote down his number. “This is my number. Why don’t you add me to your contacts when you get back home and transfer me the money?”

The young man changed his mind in an instant. If she wanted to return him the money, he would be able to get her number that way.

Rosalie took the paper, stuffed it into her pocket, and nodded. “Alright, then. I’ll transfer you the money once I’m home. I won’t forget about it.”

Although it was just a bottle of

water, the issue wasn’t with howe much it actually cost. Since she took something from someone, she had to return it, no matter how

insignificant or cheap.

“You were sobbing so sadly just now. Did something happen? You can share it with me.”

Rosalie smiled weakly. “No, I just tripped and fell.”

“But I saw…” He hesitated before bowing his head, as if finding the words difficult to utter. “What…what did you see?” Rosalie asked softly.

“I saw a man downstairs who looked furious. He drove off right before you came downstairs, crying while calling a name.”

Rosalie smiled helplessly at the young man’s mention of ‘a man who looked furious’.

How could he be angry? He told her so straightforwardly that he didn’t love her even after ten years. What did he have to be angry about?

“Is that man your boyfriend?” the young man asked.

“He…” Rosalie smiled bitterly. “He’s my ex-husband. We recently got divorced.”

“I see. Why are you still crying over him, then?”

Tears were still hanging from the corners of her eyes as she smiled; a slightly bitter smile. “I… I’m not crying anymore. I won’t cry anymore from now on.”

“That’s the way. Don’t cry, miss. You look like a good person. That guy must be the one at fault. The divorce has nothing to do with you. You have to remain happy and positive.”

Rosalie looked up into his deep, dark eyes. “Why do you trust me so much? We haven’t known each other for more than a few minutes, and you think I’m not in the wrong?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“But of course,” the young man said, nodding profusely. “You’re so beautiful. How could you possibly be in the wrong?”

Rosalie burst out laughing, tickled pink by his words.

“Are beautiful people always in the right, then? My ex-husband is very good-looking, too. Why do you think he’s in the wrong?”

“I like you, and I don’t like that good-looking bastard,” the young man said sweetly. “You’re so beautiful, I’m sure you’ll be able to find a better man. Let’s not care about that bastard.”

His voice was akin to a stream of warm water, melting Rosalie’s heart and warming her up from within. It sounded pleasant and very comforting. It lifted her mood in an instant.

“Thank you. I’ll keep your words in mind.”

“Exactly. Stay far away from that bastard. Bastards like him will never find happiness,” the young man said, as if cursing his enemies.

Rosalie opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but realized she didn’t know his name. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Yerick Zeller.”

“Yerick Zeller,” she repeated with a nod. “What a nice name.”

“Just call me Yerry.”

“Alright, Yerry. My ex-husband just doesn’t love me. He’s not a completely bad guy. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Anyway, we’re divorced and it’s all over.”

Although she sometimes really ‘hates’ Theodore, she didn’t feel good hearing another person keep calling him a bastard.

It might be an instinctive desire to protect him, but it was more so because they were divorced and she found no need to speak badly about each other. An amicable split was good for everyone. Why the need to disparage one another?

She didn’t feel happier hearing others catt him a bastard. She didn’t want to become someone who would denigrate an ex-partner after a breakup. That wouldn’t be decent of her.

She had known this so-called bastard for ten years, after all-out of which they were married for one They had once lived together, their days sweet and harmonious. They

even hugged each other to sleep at night.

He had given her many painful memories, but also some of the happiest and sweetest moments of her life.

Every tender affection he showed her was etched in her heart.

That made the pain he caused her at the end even deeper.

Rosalie was certain Theodore wouldn’t call her a witch behind her back. Things that happened between them weren’t so black and white.

“Alright, I won’t talk about him. But since things are over between you two, you should live your life well, especially since you’re pregnant,” said Yerick. Rosalie’s heart leaped as she looked at him in shock. “How did you know that?”
